John Carlson recently received advanced level training, from the American Association of Premier DUI Attorneys, on winning DUI cases using finger dexterity. It is critically important to understand that officers are trained that alcohol goes to the muscles and, if a person is impaired, the alcohol in the muscles will cause finger dexterity problems. The main area in a case where officers are trained to look for finger dexterity issues is while the driver is retrieving their Driver’s License, registration, and proof of insurance and providing those documents to the officer. Officers are trained that alcohol in the muscles will cause a driver to fumble and drop their documents. If a driver doesn’t have any finger dexterity problems, we can get an officer to testify that the driver did not have an impairing amount of alcohol in their system at that time. Additionally, there are many overlooked areas in a case where skilled attorneys can also look for evidence that their client did not have finger dexterity issues. It is critical to hire an attorney who understands the importance of looking for the lack of finger dexterity problems in a case and knows how to use that information to force an officer to explain to the Judge or the Jury that the client is not guilty. This training was provided by Dave Cox, the Founder and President of the American Association of Premier DUI Attorneys.
The American Association of Premier DUI Attorneys has compiled information from Judges, Traffic Safety Resource Prosecutors (the Top DUI Prosecutors in each State), DUI Prosecutors, current Law Enforcement Officers, former Law Enforcement Officers, and DUI Defense Attorneys to determine exactly what skills, knowledge, training, tools, resources, and strategies win the most DUI cases at trial and are also used to get DUI cases successfully resolved for the defense prior to trial.
When people need a DUI Attorney, the biggest challenge is knowing whether or not an attorney truly has the skills, knowledge, training, tools, resources, and strategies that are needed to successfully resolve and win DUI cases. Countless attorneys handle DUI cases. But, only a very small percentage have the skills, knowledge, training, tools, resources, and strategies that are needed to successfully resolve and win DUI cases.
Members of the American Association of Premier DUI Attorneys have received advanced level training on the strategies that win the most DUI cases at trial and are also used to get DUI cases successfully resolved for the defense prior to trial. Members of the American Association of Premier DUI Attorneys also have access to the resources and tools that are used to win and successfully resolve DUI cases and these are resources and tools that only a very small percentage of DUI attorneys have access to and use.

Having been on the winning side of some of Erie County’s most highly publicized cases, his successes have been reported on TV, in newspapers and over the internet.
In addition to his success in the courtroom, Attorney Carlson is also recognized for his hard work and experienced plea bargaining skills.
While most cases can be amicably resolved before going to court, if a trial is the only way to vindicate his clients’ rights, Attorney Carlson is recognized as a lawyer who is not afraid to try cases.
